Finn Filmnapok Discussion: Female Gaze

11/02/2018 - 16:30 to 17:30

Discussion on Female Gaze is part of Finnish Film Days 2018 program.

The female gaze is a feminist film theoretical term that is constantly being scrutinized and redefined. The term cannot simply be understood as a strict opposition to male gaze referring to the masculine and heterosexual point of view in film which presents women as objects of male pleasure. Actors and directors from Finland and Hungary will discuss the subject of female gaze, what it means and how it is present in today’s filmmaking.
